I don't think Vodka is period, even by SCA standards. How about making
Kvass instead? See this file in the Florilegium beverage section for more
info:
kvass-msg         (64K)  5/26/99    Russian drink made from bread or grains.

Tea? Also, not period. Lemon drink? While lemons were known in period,
I doubt Russia got any, at least not enough to use for drinks.

What is "Siberian meat Pel'menis"? That and the Roast Goose with
Kasha and Mushrooms sound interesting.

What are the honey cakes? Recipe?
